To answer these questions:Jeza posted:What wager? Why all the saintly foreshadowing that leads nowhere? The wager was between the Governor of Java and the captain. The basic event actually happened in 1678: the captain got to Java in three months with the governor's letters and it was a huge deal because that was a really short amount of time. Whether or not it was an actual wager, I don't know, but I had to include that event or it would not have been history. I just turned it into a wager because that's the easiest reason for everything to center around that ship. It was mentioned in the paragraph with the letters. The saint part was because they weren't taking part in the usual rowdy sailor behavior and always looking up. Then he says "or maybe they were doing that because they're people who know they've incurred the wrath of God", which was in the Sodom and Gomorrah reference right after. But hey, if it was done poorly, then I accept that criticism. If a bunch of people are saying it sucked, then it must have sucked. I'll get back on that pony and try again. Thank you for your inputs, Jeza, Seb, Mercedes, and Erogenous Beef. I will definitely take them into consideration.
